Guided Bird Walks w/ Katie A.
Friday, April 24th, 2026 | 9am - 10am
Presque Isle State Park
Additional Info
-
Registration Required. Each member of your party must register separately.
-
Meeting Point: the dirt parking lot by Thompson Circle Drive. Thompson Circle is the semicircle lot that’s found just past the road that takes you to Beach 11 / the Coast Guard station. (Coordinates: 42°09'60.0"N, 80°05'03.1"W) There’s a big dirt parking lot across from Thompson Circle that Katie parks in. It generally takes about 30 minutes to get to this spot from the entrance of Presque Isle. Please obey the park’s speed limit.
For All April Bird Walks:
-
Registration Required. Each member of your party must register separately.
-
Our birding is done at a slow pace, and usually over a short distance.
-
All walks run rain or shine unless weather conditions are too dangerous to safely be out.
-
Dress for the weather. Presque Isle is frequently cooler than up on the mainland but can warm up quickly during our walks, so layers are a good choice.
-
Wear comfortable footwear that you don’t mind possibly getting a little muddy.
-
Please make sure we have a way to contact you in case we need to make any changes; typically, emails are sent out the night before if any changes are required.
-
Look for the Erie Bird Observatory sign. Please arrive on time to your walk so we can get in as much birding as possible.
These walks are open to everyone, regardless of EBO membership status, but limited to 10 participants. We kindly ask that if you enjoy your walk with Katie that you consider a donation and/or becoming a member so we may continue to offer events like this in the future.
